The easiest way to be in the know.
It’s Friday, June 27, 2025: Happy Friday! Your favorite weekly newsletter is back. Did you miss me? I’m not sure, but things certainly don’t slow down while I’m away, do they? This week, we have the latest on the Chester County DA’s investigation into Kevin Krebs and why he brought his gun to the No Kings Rally. What a scary video that was. Also, do you have what it takes to be a West Chester Police Officer? West Chester Police Chief Joshua Lee shares the hiring process and what he looks for in an officer. Plus, West Chester and West Goshen share their road paving schedules, so does PennDOT, but you’re not going to like it, and is ICE operating in West Chester? New video evidence would strongly suggest yes.
Lots to get to this week, who’s ready? Let’s catch up.
